Tanner Kowalski is drinking a Caps & Roses by Roses By The Stairs at Roses By The Stairs Brewing
Damn. I made the right decision on beer and brewery before heading to the Phoenix Airport. Bitter, citrus, acidic, juicy, and just pleasant. This brewery is more than a clever name. Enough to calm the intrusive thoughts.

Tanner Kowalski is drinking a Morning Sex by The Beer Research Institute at The Whining Pig
Super smooth and tasty. Definitely get some dark chocolate on the nose. Only criticism is that there are a lot of beers with a similar profile. A chile or coconut infusion would elevate it to near perfection.

Tanner Kowalski is drinking a Juicy Juicy by Huss Brewing Company at Huss Brewing Co.
Light but a tiny bit of grapefruit -like bitterness keeps it from being one note

Defies explanation. Which is what my jaded psyche needs after visiting Phoenix's "craft beer scene". Is this what grog is? Tastes of vinegar, bitter citrus, and herbaceous hoppiness. If so, I like grog (bidet).
